Sharp Hands Gallery<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Online | Portland, Oregon | Seattle, Washington<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HISTORY <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sharp Hands was created and launched in the summer of 2020 partly in response to the fact that people were not able to see art in person at galleries or other public venues during the COVID lockdown. Even with most galleries open and running again, they plan to continue hosting these online shows. Sharp Hands is curated by Pacific Northwest-based collage artists Kevin Sampsell and Cheryl Chudyk, with occasional guest curators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MISSION<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sharp Hands was created to give collage its own exclusive venue, where viewers can see work by artists from all over the world that surprises, distorts, rearranges, energizes, and stretches the limits of hand-made assemblages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
